AI Technical Summary

Benefits of technology

The present invention introduces a new system that can enhance the production of proteins, especially recombinant ones, from cultured eukaryotic cells. By increasing translation efficiency and accuracy, the system improves the yield and quality of protein production. This innovation is highly beneficial for the field of protein engineering.

Problems solved by technology

While prokaryotic, typically bacterial, host cell systems have proven capable of generating large quantities of recombinant proteins, these hosts suffer from a number of disadvantages, including an inability to glycosylate proteins, inefficient cleavage of “pre” or “prepro” sequences from proteins (e.g., inefficient post translational modification), and a general inability to secrete proteins.
Large scale production of proteins for commercial use can be both laborious and expensive.
Moreover, facilities that produce proteins for pharmacological use can incur significant cost to obtain building and regulatory approval.
Thus, even small increases in the efficiency with which a protein can be produced are commercially valuable because of the limited number of facilities available for production and the expense of production.

n of a Stable Cell Model Expressing the RPL10 R98S Mutation

[0092]shRNA+Overexpression Model

[0093]Mouse lymphoid pro-B cells (Ba / F3) were transduced with retroviral vectors encoding WT and R98S mutant RPL10 according to standard methods. These retroviral constructs were described previously (De Keersmaecker et al. (2013) cited above). T-ALL samples containing the RPL10 R98S defect only express mutant RPL10 (De Keersmaecker et al. (2013) cited above). To mimic this, endogenously expressed Rpl10 was knocked down in the Ba / F3 cell lines by transduction with an Rpl10 targeting shRNA construct. To generate this shRNA construct, a short hairpin RNA sequence (AACCGACGATCCTATTGTCATC: SEQ ID NO:7) targeting mouse Rpl10 was cloned into a mir30 cassette that was introduced into the pMSCV-Neo vector. In order to obtain cells with efficient and stable knock down of endogenous Rpl10, cultures were established from single cell colonies grown in Clonacell-TCS medium (Stemcell technologies). Only cul...

Labelling Assay to Determine Levels of Freshly Synthesized Proteins

[0098]Click-iT technology (Thermo Fisher Scientific) was employed to measure the levels of newly synthesized proteins in Ba / F3 cells. Briefly, 2 million cells were placed in methionine-free medium for 1 hour and then labelled for 2 hours with 35 μM AHA (L-azidohomoalanine). Cells were then lysed in lysis buffer (Cell Signalling Technology) and 100 μg of protein extract was used to perform the Click-iT biotin-conjugating reaction according to manufactures instruction. Subsequently, proteins were separated by gel electrophoresis and newly synthesized proteins were detected by immunoblot using a streptavidin-HRP antibody (Cell Signalling Technology).

example 3

of GFP Expression

[0099]The plasmid used for expressing RPL10 WT or R98S in the Ba / F3 shRNA / overexpression model contains an IRES-GFP expression cassette. Expression levels of this cassette were monitored by measuring the mean fluorescent intensity (MFI) on a Guava Easycyte HT flow cytometer (Millipore). For the Jurkat RPL10 WT or R98S cells, a plasmid encoding a GFP expression cassette was electroporated and expression levels of this cassette were determined by measuring the mean fluorescent intensity (MFI) on a Guava Easycyte HT flow cytometer (Millipore) at 24 hours after electroporation.

FIELD OF THE INVENTION[0001]The present disclosure relates generally to an improved protein expression system in the field of recombinant protein expression. The invention relates to a system showing an improved yield and quality of protein production and methods for increasing production of a protein produced by cultured cells, particularly cultured eukaryotic cells.BACKGROUND[0002]Improved methodologies for maximizing protein production through recombinant gene expression is an on-going effort in the art. Of particular interest is the development of methodologies that maximize recombinant expression of biologically active proteins for producing commercially useful quantities of these proteins. While prokaryotic, typically bacterial, host cell systems have proven capable of generating large quantities of recombinant proteins, these hosts suffer from a number of disadvantages, including an inability to glycosylate proteins, inefficient cleavage of “pre” or “prepro” sequences from pr...
